Now vs if chaptered
Now: no federal CAD-distribution ban. If chaptered (or if the Senate twin chapters first): new 922(aa) internet-distribution crime. Confirm enactment before advising.
Defender utility
Same statute as SB 2165 if either twin chapters. Distinguish a still-pending federal CAD-distribution count from already-illegal unlicensed manufacture / state CAD statutes (NJ A 1399; CA AB 1263). Not a current charge.
Who this is for. Federal defenders tracking the House CAD-distribution twin of SB 2165 — pending, not present law; not a California charge.
